AMUG opens registration for 2027 Additive Manufacturing conference
The Additive Manufacturing Users Group (AMUG) has opened conference registration for the 2027 AMUG Education and Training Conference in Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA, which will run from March 14–18. This event is open to employees of organisations that directly own commercially available Additive Manufacturing equipment used in professional environments.
The AMUG Conference is intended to bring AM users of all experience levels together to exchange practical insights, compare real-world results, solve challenges, and explore new applications. Formal presentations and informal conversations during breaks, meals, and networking activities create a user-led environment where attendees help one another put AM knowledge into practice.
The user-driven agenda includes presentations, hands-on workshops, AMUGexpo, and evening activities with meals. The event opens with the New Member Welcome, a get-together designed to help first-time attendees start building connections.
Dallas Martin, AMUG President, said, “From the Sunday-night New Member Welcome to the Thursday-night Family Dinner, AMUG is packed with opportunities to learn, explore, connect, and have some fun along the way. You leave with new ideas, new relationships, and things you can actually take back to your job and use.”
Martin added, “The AMUG Conference is difficult to explain to someone who has not experienced it because it doesn’t feel like a typical conference; it feels like a family. New attendees quickly find people willing to share what they know, make introductions, and help them become part of the AMUG community.”
AMUG crafts an all-inclusive conference programme that encourages active participation and connection-building from early mornings through the evenings. In 2027, the AMUG Conference will continue its focus on networking, collaboration, and learning while incorporating changes based on member feedback.
Alex Roschli, Director, Education & Conference, said, “AMUG 2027 will build on the conference experiences members value most while adding even more opportunities to learn, connect, and exchange ideas. We will have familiar favourites alongside expanded roundtable discussions, hands-on workshops, and a full week of technical content.”
The AMUG Conference will offer keynotes, panel discussions, educational sessions, and hands-on workshops to help users maximise their AM expertise. For 2027, AMUG will expand roundtable discussions, which are free-flowing, unstructured conversations on specified topics, and host them in a dedicated conference space available throughout the event.
AMUG has also dedicated a large, flexible space for hands-on workshops throughout the week, enabling more attendees to participate in these activities.
The agenda features 12 conference tracks, including two new tracks for 2027: Simulation & AI and Safety & Cybersecurity.
The Start-up Launchpad will return to AMUGexpo in 2027, giving AM users a place to explore emerging solutions. Training Labs will also return, with conference sponsors providing in-depth sessions, training sessions, and workshops that expand opportunities for immersive learning and engagement.
AMUGexpo will take place March 14–16. The expo connects experienced AM users with companies offering industry solutions, creating opportunities to exchange knowledge and build relationships.
The conference programme will also feature the twelfth annual Innovators Showcase. The showcase is an on-stage interview where attendees get to know an industry innovator and discover insights from that individual’s experiences.
